DWP LVP Advice

I was wondering if anyone with experience of DWP Low Value Provisions Schemes could help me.
I currently get ESA with the work activity element. I have seen a couple of courses I am interested in, both are 5 days courses and cost about £900 each. The provider has said both courses are available on the DWP LVP scheme.
So my question is, I am eligible for the scheme being on ESA or is it only for those getting jobseekers? And would I be able to get both courses? As they go hand in hand really.
Any advice appreciated, I haven't contacted the jobcentre yet as its a nightmare to get through to at the moment and secondly just probing the idea.

I would speak to your work coach and check what the eligibility is.0

There's some really useful and sensible guidance here on how to improve your chances of getting a course approved: http://www.ptq.uk.com/government-funded-courses.html
Sounds as if they would be able to answer any questions you have, even though you probably aren't planning to be a PT!
